Serving
youth for over 50 years, Troop 465 has had a proud heritage of molding
boys into men according to the criteria listed above. Our Scoutmaster
Emeritus,
George Lingefelt, say's "If you want boys to become
leaders, you have to train them and then let them lead",
and thus began our "boy-lead troop" mind set. Jason
Norred is our
current Scoutmaster and passes these skills on. In fact, Scoutmaster
Norred is only our 8th Scoutmaster since 1963.
Since
1996, the Troop Sponsor has been
465 Alumni, Inc.,
dba Friends of Troop 465, a non-profit organization specifically
enacted to support Troop 465 both financially and philosophically.
Troop 465 has a permanent Scout
Hut, on over 3 acres, thanks to the generosity and foresight
of 465 Alumni, Inc.
Troop 465 is unique because of the tremendous support from our members
and their families. If you would like more information about joining
troop 465, please click here.
